Bryan Mbeumo Wants Manchester United Transfer

Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo wants to move to Manchester United this summer. He has turned down interest from Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mbeumo has only one year left on his contract at Brentford, but the club can extend it. He wants to join Manchester United. He is not interested in other clubs, even those playing Champions League football. The 25-year-old winger wants to join Manchester United, who finished 15th in the Premier League. They missed out on European football after losing the Europa League final to Spurs last month. A report says that formal negotiations between Manchester United and Brentford are imminent, but Brentford will stick to their £60 million ($73 million) valuation for the Cameroon international, who scored 20 goals and provided eight assists in 38 league matches last season.

MANCHESTER UNITED’S CHANGING FORTUNES

While Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League, there is still uncertainty over the futures of important players from the team. Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes are expected to seek moves away. The Red Devils have already agreed to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves and are now looking to secure another attacking option for Ruben Amorim. Mbeumo is renowned for his direct style of play and impact from the wings. He will be a perfect fit for Amorim’s system. Brentford finished the season just one place above Manchester United in 14th and are preparing for life next season without their top scorer in case a suitable offer comes their way.

WHAT’S NEXT?

As Mbeumo has already made his decision, it is up to the two clubs to sit across the table and talk business. Brentford are unlikely to budge from their £60 million ($73 million) valuation, while Manchester United are yet to make a formal offer. However, the club have picked up pace in the market, suggesting a move soon. Manchester United next play a friendly in their pre-season tour, while Brentford will be eyeing a summer rebuild with the incoming cash to ensure the club is ready for another Premier League campaign. It remains to be seen if Manchester United will match Brentford’s asking price and how well Mbeumo can fit into the eager squad that wants to climb up the table next season.
